Keeping Good Company

Last Time:

Logan looked at them, and he didn't like the look on their faces. It was like they shared something, just the two of them. They both had affection in their eyes, and he had never shared anything like that with her before. He remembered some rumors he had heard, and raised his voice.

"I've never slept with someone who was married."

Rory's head sprung up and she started to lift her glass.

She felt terrible as she slowly lifted her glass, she was scared to look at Finn, but a small movement in her peripheral vision made her do it anyway. He was also lifting his glass. They looked at each other surprised, and then they let their eyes lock while they emptied their glasses together. Logan looked at Rory shocked, he had heard rumors about Finn, but he had never guessed that Rory would do something like that. Everybody else was also looking at Rory shocked, and they were all completely quite.

"Wow," Steph breathed "Now that was a chock! I think that calls for a drink, and a couple of stories."

She filled everybody's glasses, and sat back down. Finn looked at Rory, and decided that it didn't look like she wanted to go first.

"I went home to Australia last summer, I moved here when I was 16, and hadn't been home since then." He was mainly talking to Rory, knowing that she didn't know much about his past. "Before I moved here I had a girlfriend named Laura, and I met her on the beach one day. We got talking about old times, and ended up having dinner. I followed her home, and she invited me in, and we had sex. It wasn't because I felt anything for her, it just happened. Afterwards she told me she was married, and had been for 3 years. She got married too young, and there was no feelings left in her marriage. I left and I haven't seen her since then."

Everybody was quite for a moment, and then Finn looked at Rory and tugged her shoulder a bit.

"Do you want to share?" he smiled "I'm just as bad."

She took a deep breath, and gathered all her courage. This was definitely not something she was proud of, especially after the way it had ended.

"Some of you have met my ex-boyfriend Dean," she looked around and Logan and Colin nodded, while Finn again held her a bit tighter. "We were together for about two years in high school. He broke it of after he realized that I had fallen for somebody else, and when we finished high school he married Lindsey. I went to Yale, and we only saw each other a few times in the next. Then when I came home for summer his marriage had gone bad, they were constantly fighting, and I think we both thought that we could revive our good relationship from back in high school. And then it happened. It didn't take me a long time to regret it, and I went to Europe for the rest of the summer. But when I came home Lindsey had left him anyway, she had found a letter I wrote for him, and it made her kick him out. So I felt obligated to try to get our relationship to work, but it didn't, and he ended up dumping me again."

After her long ramble everybody was quite for a long time, it ended up being too much for her and she got to her feet.

"Excuse me," she mumbled and headed for the dormitory.

Finn immediately got up and followed her, he felt like it was entirely his fault. He knew that Logan had heard about his little affair, and that he had said what he did to make him look bad in her eyes. It made him angry, but first of all he was concerned for Rory. He went into her and Steph's room, and there she was sitting on the bottom bunk, with her face buried in her hands. He sat down next to her.

"Its some kind of people we are huh?" he shrugged "But at least we keep good company!"

She looked up at him confused, not even trying to hide her tears.

"Yeah," he smiled at her "I don't think there's anyone I would rather be a home wreaker with."

He caressed her cheek, and watched as her expression changed from confusion to a grin. She reached up to his chin and gently rubbed a finger across his 5-o'clock-shadow.

"Me neither." she said and slowly lifted her lips up to hit his. They barely touched, but to both of them it was like fireworks went of in the background. They looked at each other, both astonished at what had just happened. He had completely forgotten all the good reasons for not kissing her, that he had the night before. And now, as he slowly descended his head destined for her lips, all he could feel inside was utter happiness. Rory flung her arms around his neck at the same time as he laid his around her waist, and his lips collided with hers in a passionate kiss.

At the bonfire right after Finn left:

Logan was shocked; this certainly wasn't what was supposed to happen. He had expected Finn to take his shot; he never lied, and then he'd tell his story and Rory would push him away in disgust. But Rory taking a shot that hadn't even crossed his mind, it was never a possibility. And then she did, and his plan only pushed them closer.

"Wow," Steph said with a voice that sounded as chocked as he felt. "Logan, I think you get tonight's prize for exposure."

"It's nice to know though," Colin smirked to the whole group, and when he saw their surprised faces he finished "That she isn't a completely goodie-two-shoes!"

"No," Robert said in agreement "she isn't as boring as I took her for."

"She's never been boring, just secluded." Steph stuck up for her new friend.
